A You've THEA few days ago a Chi
naman was arrested for stealing eggs from
Simon's restaurant, on Front street, be-
ween I and j, boy named Manuel Silva.
about 13 years old, being the witness
against him, be stating that he saw the Ce-
lestial take the eggs. On Thursday the boy
confessed TO Chief Dillman and officer Sui
Ivan that he stole the property himself
He was detained at the station house, and
given the liberty of the jail-yard. That
evening he put two pairs of blankets in q
grain sack and was endeavoripg to escape
with them over the wall when one of the
TRUSTEES interrupted his programme and he
was locked up.
THE VETERANS CoMING.-The Southern
Pacific Company's officials in this city are
making arrangements for the transporta-
ton of the New York veteran firemen from
Ogden 10 Sacramento, and the programme
brings them to this city at 9:15 A. M of
Wednesday next, the 14th instant. The
interest manifested in their visit by resi-
dents of this section of the State is surpris-
ingly large. and it is evident that there will
be large number of visitors to the city to
greet them. and to enjoy the delightful
music of Cappa's magnificent band, which
accompanies the excursionists
ANOTHER SCHooL-HoUsE RoBBED.-Mrs.
Fisher, teacher of the Stone House District
school, on the Costumes, reported to Chief
Dillman yesterday that she had found that
the school-house had been burglarized and
the library robbed of a set of enclyclo-
pedias some time since the term closed.
The Chief accompanied her to the stores
where Ed. Haffey had disposed of books
stolen from other school-houses, and some
of the works taken from the Stone House
library were found. Haffey is supposed to
have been connected with the disappear
ance of the volumes from the school
A CoMPARIsoN.-The shipments of fresh,
dried and canned fruits from Sacramento
to the East by rail were SO much larger
last month than they were in August, 1886,
that we give the figures for the purpose of
comparison: Ripe fruit in 1886, 4, 500. 700
pounds in 1887, 1000, 700 pounds. Dried
fruit in 1886. 4 200 in 1887, 45S, 800. Canned
goods in 1886, 4l2600; in 1887, !, $50 600.
The increase of such shipments from Sac
ramento was very much larger than that
from any other shipping point in the State

No Ones DUTY.

Citizens called the attention of the
Poundmaster, through the RECORD UNION
few days ago, to the fact that an old horse,
suffering from a shockingly diseased leg,
was wandering about in the vicinity of
Twenty-sixth and o streets, and suggested
that the animal be taken away and killed.
The Poundmaster declares that he is not
authorized TO kill horses, it is not part of
his duties, and if he killed this one it
would cost him about So to bury it. He
referred the matter to Health Officer Starr,
who could not see that he lad anything to
do with live horses, unless they were
afflicted with contagious disease. Then
the case was taken to Chief of Police Dill
man, who was confident that policeman
had no more right or occasion to kill the
horse than any other citizen. So the mat
ter stood at last accounts, but the citizens
think the horse 81. 'uld be disposed Of The
Health Officer WcIld have the animal
buried if he was found lying dead in the
street, and he might as well authorize some
one to put the poor brute out OF its misery

The morning game at Snowflake Park
tomorrow will be between the AGNES and
E. & o. Els, of the Amateur League, and
will commence at IL o'clock sharp. The
afternoon game will be between the Green
hood l. Morans and Atlas. Borchers will
probably pitch for the visiting nj he, and it
may reasonably be expected that he and
the other members of the club will do their
best TO " down" the local players. 1t will
be contest between the club at the head
of the California League and the one at
the other extremity, and yet there is so
little difference in the ability of the players
of the two organizations that the Atlas
have to keep their attention on the game
and play the best ball they are capable o.
to insure success-and it is not always in
sured either Previous to to-morrow's
game there will be the usual concert by
the Hussar Band. Reserved seats can be
secured at Houghtons.

Young Mems christian Association.

The regular monthly business meeting of
the Association was held in the reading
rooms last evening. There was an excel
lent attendance of young men, though
many of the Native Son " members went
TO Napa. President Campbell presided.
The employment department report
showed that several young men had OBJ
tanned permanent positions through the
Association, and several other positions
could have been filled had there been suit
able men. This department only intro
duces young men who have good references
TO employers wanting help. The Vista
ton OF the Sick Committee reported the
death and funeral of one friendless young
man, whom the members had visited and
befriended during nine months sickness.
Two young men were elected members of
the Association. After the transaction of
routine business and brief addresses by ".
B. Maydwell, J. o. Hestwood and the Gen.
eral Secretary, the young men adjourned
TO the next room, where refreshments were
served by the young men of the Reception
Committee. An hour was spent in the
gymnasium and parlors and then ali sepa-
rated feeling that the Association rooms

FISH CoMMIssIoNERs.-Fish Commission
ers Reuter- and Sherwood left for San Fran
cisco yesterday TO attend regular meeting
of the Commission IN that city day. One
of the topics that will be discussed when
they meet is that concerning the sea lions
at the Cliff House. Raymond Wilson will
give The Board formal opinion, in accord
ance With their request, as TO whether the
State authorities have the power to have
the lions and seals killed. At present they
are protected by San Francisco city ordi-
nance. 1t is not proposed to kill them all,
but to reduce the number about e-half,
ard it is believed that this action would
soon have beneficial effect upon the
supply of food fish in the bays and rivers.

the French. In nearly the whole of
Germany all children are compelled to %
to school.
The greater proportion of newspapers
in France is probably due to the keen
interest that most of the people have in
public affairs and their great fondness
for reading stories. Nearly all French
newspapers publish a continued story,
generally printed in short columns across
the bottom of the pages MANY more
small cheap newspapers are published in
France than in Germany.
Great Britain and Ireland come next
upon the list, with one journal for every
| 400 inhabitants There are many
illlterates in Ireland and in some parts
of England, and the schools are nowhere
free, as with us, nor is education compul-
sorry. The newspapers, however. are
very widely circulated, and for the most
part, very cheap. The very largest daily
newspapers in London, which nav great
sums every year for tclegraphic dis
patches and other news, are sold through
out the kingdom for Id. (2c.l
We find that Sweden comes next on
the list, with one newspaper for every
13,122 people. Very few Swcdes are
unable to read, and primary education
throughout Sweden and Norway is free
and compulsory. Perhaps the fact that
lntemperance prevails to a most alarm
ing extent in Sweden and Norway has
something to do with the fact that
Journals and reviews circulate to a less
extent there than in the other countries
where the standard Of popular education
is high.
Austria has one paper to every 1882
people, and her companion kingdom of
Hungary onl y one to every 24,34:} This
difference is easily understood when we
note the fact that in Austria proper
eighty eight per cent. of the adults are
able to read and write, and in Hungary
only twenty-siX per cent Even in Hun
gary the newspapers which have the
largest circulation are printed in the Ger
man language
In Italy the number of people who are
unable to read is very great, and there is
but one paper for every 20,356 inhab-
itants The peasants of Italy are among
the poorest in all Europe Nearly two
thirds Of the population over ten years of
age are unable to read, and 50 men and
IS women out of every 100 are unable to
sign the marriage registers.
Russia in Europe is at the bottom Of the
list in the proportion of newspapers
taken by the people. There is but one
journal to every 1896 people in Russia.
This is easy to understand when we read
that in her general educational system
Russia is still behind even such countries
as Japan and Egypt-You Companiou

How the Former Shows the Advance of the
Latter in Amy Country.

Latter in Any Country.
The extent to which the knowledge Of
letters, or at any rate the knowledge of
reading and writing, has spread among
the people of any country, is indicated
pretty closely by the number of news
papers, or rather periodicals, that they
read. 1t is easy to understand that the
people of the United States, who spend
more money for their own education
than any other people in the world, have
a greater number of journals, compared
with their population, than any other
country. In the United States there is
published one paper to every 4, 433 in
habitants.
The country in which the proportion of
newspapers to the population is next
greatest is also a country where the peo-
pie govern themselves and pay great at
tention to education. This country is
Switzerland, and it has one journal to
every 5,O73 people.
The next country in what may be called
newspaper rank is Denmark, which has
a small population and free schools.
There is one newspaper to every 6,022
people.
Belgium has few people who do not
know how to read, and it has one paper
to every 1853 inhabitants
The cases of France and of Germany
present an exception to the rule, that the
newspapers are in proportion to the
number of people, relatively to the whole
population, who can read There is one
newspaper to every s,642 people in
France, and one to 9,474 in Germany;
but the proportion of illiterates is, never
theless, greater in France than in Ger
many, and the Germans pay much more
attention to educational matters than do
